A Gwinnett County man is facing multiple charges after police say he crashed his truck, drove away from the scene and later left his two daughters on the side of Interstate 85.
According to Gwinnett County police, officers were called on Nov. 4 to 1575 Indian Trail Lilburn Road after reports of a man standing next to a heavily damaged truck. When officers arrived, they made contact with Eddie Lee Jordan Jr., who police say struggled to give clear or logical answers to the questions.
Officers conducted sobriety field tests to determine whether Jordan was safe to drive. During the investigation, Jordan admitted he had been drinking, telling officers he had consumed one alcoholic drink.
